Court of the Hallmark Holiday - AU Contest

 Jump into the spirit of the season by submitting your characters into a Hallmark holiday contest!

• Your entered character will be paired with another entered character, keeping in mind sexual orientations, and then the pairs will be assigned a Hallmark style plot to guide the thread. These are modern day Alternate Universes (or whatever time period might be specified in your plot) and should just contain the two entrant characters. You can reference other characters onsite if you own them, but they shouldn't be a heavy focus. Consider that there's usually three stages to a plot: meet cute, dramatic arc, resolution/happy ending.
  
• You may enter as many characters as you want as long as they're yours, even dead ones (they'd be alive in this AU setting).
  
• Because we need an even amount of characters and correctly aligning sexual orientations to partner them up, if I could have one or two volunteer characters to be slotted in 'as needed', that'd be great!
  
• Ideally threads are complete by the time voting begins, but since it is up to vote that'll be the judgement call of players if they feel an incomplete thread is still worth placing
  
• Please contact Blu if you have any questions!
